Welcome to the 2.30 from Mumsnet Towers. The fillies have been groomed to within an inch of their lives and are raring to go.

Late entries for the race are required to locate and fill in the BESHtionnaire so that their form can be assessed.

Bring on the stallions!

Ah wasn't the weather gorgeous today?

I think I am waiting for our respective parents to be unhappy and tell me I'm too young. And that I am destroying lives. I am too scared to tell anyone else really...

It took ages for me to pluck up and mention we were TTC

HaveALittleFaith · 23/07/2012 22:14

Walked at a pace norf. Trying to melt the lard! Been gorgeous here although was stuck at work til 5 Confused at least with my walks I feel like I'm appreciating the nice weather. And nature and stuff :)

Sounds like you have something of a plan then euro? Gives you a few options.

FriendofDorothy · 23/07/2012 22:14

It has been beautiful weather today. The Mister finished work at 8pm and then we raced to the beach for a lovely swim. Bloody freezing though!

Northey · 24/07/2012 07:00

God, a swim would be nice. Am nearly at work, and already feeling the swelter.

HaveALittleFaith · 24/07/2012 16:52

Anyone fancy chucking buckets of water over me like they do at the end of horse races?!

KickTheGuru · 24/07/2012 17:01

splooooooooooooooooooooooosh

Whooooshwhoooooshwhooooooshwhoooooosh

HaveALittleFaith · 24/07/2012 17:05

Ah that's better!

KickTheGuru · 24/07/2012 17:07

Not sure what the whooooshwhoooooshwhooooosh was but there you go

HaveALittleFaith · 24/07/2012 17:11

How you doing kickass?

KickTheGuru · 24/07/2012 17:12

Loving the heat - although, my insulin doesn't work when it's hot. Preparing me for pregnancy?!

How you?

HaveALittleFaith · 24/07/2012 17:20

Really? The heat impacts on insulin? I never knew that! and I'm a nurse!

I'm finding work quite tough. I feel like some people have no concept of what I do so assume I do diddly! and so imply my job is meaningless. Some people think I do nothing and so they can pile loads of work on me. All for a job I have to hand over in two months. Demotivated much?!

Otherwise I'm ok, feeling better for the exercise and sunshine :) about to hang a load of washing on the line. Always like that!

KickTheGuru · 24/07/2012 17:40

Yep. I had a bowl of cereal and normally, I take about 6 units for breakfast and it's steady 8.0 ish afterwards. These passed two mornings, I've taken about 13 units of breakfast and its' bounced up to 13! I get up and clean though or do stuff - heat apparently brings glucose up rapidly but exercise will ALWAYS bring it down. Exercise is the magic solution :)

I missed why you only have two months??

Yeh I say that - sometimes people are just efficient workers. It DOES NOT mean you need to give more work!!!

But you're a nurse - I bet your rushed off your feet

HaveALittleFaith · 24/07/2012 17:54

I'm seconded to a specialist nurse post, backfillling someone who's doing her MSc. officially I'll be back on the ward in two months.

HaveALittleFaith · 24/07/2012 18:49

Now, shall I buy these shoes on the right, wedge tan sandals?

Northey · 24/07/2012 18:54

The ginget espadrilles or the strappy things? An wearing something quite similar to the strappy ones,so i say go for it.

In a slurre voice, as I am tipsy.

HaveALittleFaith · 24/07/2012 19:12

The wedge strappy ones. £14, bargain. Might get them into store so I could have them for holidays.

HaveALittleFaith · 24/07/2012 19:13

Sorted. Coming in Friday. It's in a big retail park so I reckon I'll finish a bit early and bob in after work. Get the, have a look round Asda living :)

HaveALittleFaith · 24/07/2012 19:14

After work drinks norf?

sinkingflameofhilarity · 24/07/2012 19:29

Nice faife. I liked the ginger ones too, but my boat like feet won't fit. Story of my life.

So, what's the beef peeps? After my Monday off after working the weekend, have been sweating it out at work today. Am now home to a tea of rice cakes and hummus. Think I might need to go shopping. There is gin and tonic in the house however, so have the bare essentials.

I've hit cd19 and having the sechs with wild abandon, trying to ignore ghj coughing all over me with his rather irritating summer man flu. Poor flower.

Northey · 24/07/2012 19:54

Leave him behind for the good of the herd, hilarityjane.

Yes, fifi, an decidedly plastered. And I got chatted up on the tube by two adorably youthful posh types who wanted my fruit pastilles. They had been to a milkround type event, I think.

ShredniVashtar · 24/07/2012 20:27

Grin at getting chatted up, norfy! Been a long time since that happened to me, especially on a sticky summer day!

I am back from the needles lady- first appt this evening. It was quite good, though I did yelp loudly a little at a couple of the needles going in. Somehow I wasn't expecting it to hurt Confused I also asked her a question which she said was a dead giveaway for how she had diagnosed me, and that she'd only been asked the question once in seven years of practising! All I asked was what would happen if there was a fire or we needed to leave in a hurry while I had the needles in! I didn't think it was that strange... Would any of you have asked it?

YY to the shoes, faith. It's summer! They're a bargain! Do it!

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 24/07/2012 20:39

Hello all, IT IS HOT!! So I scuppered BMI Baybee with ice cream :) but had been cycling about 20 miles before, so I suppose that evens things out.

It's sort of CD1. It started, I called the clinic to start the next round of IUI. Then it stopped. But now it is sort of back. All very odd. Normally I do a bit of spotting, but not this month (perhaps they flushed all the old stuff out during the dye part of the lap).

Yay for the wedges, faif and for the needly lady shred. But what does your diagnosis have to do with leaving the place in a fire? Confused I'll make sure to ask that if I ever get round to needly woo, so as to surprise him/her and see whether it means I get the same diagnosis.

How annoying insulin does not work with the heat kick. But good that exercise does, does that mean you would have collapsed much sooner if you hadn't been a thriatlete?

On grim things - I have conjunctivitus (I thought only baybees and cats got that). And I am sweaty despite a shower and change after the cycle (I was literally running with sweat).

Waves at drunk norf, well done for being chatted up. I am on water. Until the liquid balance is restored, it will be sometime tomorrow, I fear...

Northey · 24/07/2012 20:42

Stupid unsettled bloodiness, citronella. I wish droids would just be unarguably there or not.

I feel suffused with drunken love for you all tonight. My dear old BESHies.

HaveALittleFaith · 24/07/2012 20:49

Done it shreddie! I though you'd already had one needles? Was it just the history taking that made you cry?!

norf bless you. At least you're enjoying yourself! Fancy getting chatted up by whippersnappers!

I'm in such a foul mood. Work is rubbish. We've had an email tonight from the letting agents saying they're docking £40 from the bond because of the garden - the garden we went back specially to tend to! This is two weeks after the final inspection?! I was told they'd ring but they didn't so I assumed it was all fine. I have sent a strongly worded email back asking what exactly the the problem was and why it took them two weeks to tell us?! Grrr Angry then they had the gall to thank us for our decorum during our rental period and they'd be happy to be references for us in the future?! WTAF?!

Northey · 24/07/2012 20:53

What fuckers! Well done for challenging. Is your deposit in an assured scheme thingy?
